People post on twitter. It's a thing. Asking to avoid posting links to twitter is ridiculous

Eventually; openai, adept, etc. are working on these types of agents. But currently, name a model that can replace selenium (ie. engage with the browser)

The point is you can do massive compression. It’s more like a sequence of sparse images than video.

Same with image models. So many fine-tuned models, LoRA’s, etc

I thought maybe I was just too dumb, but looking back, the lack of coherence or structure definitely contributed to not forming a clear model of everything he wrote.

What other inputs besides text promoting is there for SD? Are you referring to img2img, controlnet, etc?

Although rare, there are managers who are both technically competent and good at managing people (disparate skillsets). I think a manager who knows nothing about tech is often as destructive as a technical manager who's bad at people management. There just seems to be more of the former

20 years is infinitely better than never. There are a lot of life-altering diseases whose future outlook is much bleaker (eg. little funding or research interest). But yea, having to wait so long definitely sucks for those currently suffering.

I still don’t understand why things need to be this way? Like, people could not be worthless. It’s theoretically possible.

> Now take it a step further. Inside the simulation someone introduces Hard Seltzer. The in game year is 2021 and a player just read that some NPC somewhere had just created a brain/computer interface. He rips off his headset and goes to unplug the computer because fuck this game, all the DLC clearly ruined it.

Lmao. Hard seltzer isn’t that bad

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. Haven’t they always been able to remotely gather telemetry data and control devices? How was this achieved with network access?
